"I really liked this book/play. I wouldn't list it as a favorite, but I thought it was very good. I find C.S. Lewis to be fascinating so that may be why I enjoyed it so much. The play was rich in ideas about faith, love, and intellect which all were very intriguing."

    " This was not as wonderful as the movie, but still good. It was a bit harsher in theology than I was expecting. What an amazing, human story. "

    " It's so hard to judge a drama by reading it. I would love to see this play in order to form an opinion. Although it's very sad in subject matter, I did smile a lot at the witty dialogue. I'm also not sure how historically accurate this drama is. "

    " This was pretty good in terms of theme, but a book about C.S. Lewis can clearly never compare to a book BY C.S. Lewis. "

    " "For believe me, this world that seems to us so substantial is no more than the shadowlands. Real life has not begun yet."Great play, hits on faith and pain and struggles with doctrine. I would love to see it on stage. "

    " This play really made CS Lewis come alive for me. His religious writings are so carefully logical, it's interesting, and sad, to see him experience his own ideas about pain and suffering and to finally see his emotions come through. "

    " A wonderful book for quotes to ponder. It is basically the script to the movie - I love how it words thoughts on prayer and other CS Lewis writings. "
